Ideally, instruction should be delivered in a way that reduces the processing of information that does not contribute to learning (extraneous load) and increases cognitive processing that contributes to learning (germane load). One way students might effectively manage extraneous load is through specific video lecture viewing strategies to control…

Socializing and interaction are important aspects for families who visit museums. Mixed reality (MR) uses a set of technology that museums employ to encourage this behavior, but they face challenges in maintaining family cohesion with experiences across different exhibitions and kiosks. In this paper, we explore these challenges broadly to provide…

Web 2.0 technologies have led to the development of social media platforms that enable users to produce and share their own content. YouTube is such a platform where people can deliver their video clips as well as watch and interpret what others have developed. This study aimed to reach the opinions of the computer engineering students about their…
